The ruling on gold and gifts that a husband leaves for his wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. Sister Umm 'Abdullah says: My husband was righteous during his lifetime, and I believe he was, and praise be to Allah. He bought me gifts, gold, silver, and chains. Now that Allah the Exalted has taken him, does this gold, this silver, and what he left me as gifts become part of the estate, or is it exclusively mine?
Answer:
If he gave you these things, they are yours; you own them. They do not enter into the estate because he bought them for you and delivered them to you, as if they were a gift or an 'aqiqah. Their ownership has settled with you, and they are not for the heirs.
